    A bit of prospective here, I’ve had a number of home studios over the past 30 odd years, and Garageband is a million years ahead of what you could find for home recording ten years ago. If your music needs all these extra tools to sound good maybe look at your actual recording process. For a musician Garageband is a wonderful tool to use to record music.
  • @markwelsh9068
    One massive thing is that you can change tempo and time signature with logic within one song. I notice nobody ever mentions this and yet it is a huge fundamental difference.
  • I'm on Logic Pro Trial (90days!) during the quarantine and that's the kind of video that is really helpful to make some choice. Using Garage Band for almost a year now, I really want to improve my mixing skill. You got new sub!
  • @dbmorton1114
    You can record multiple takes on the same track and comp them in GB. It's simply a matter of changing a setting it in the preferences, then selecting the takes or parts of takes in the same track. I do it all the time.
  • Thanks Nathan - Been doing demos in GB for maybe 10 months or so and have started running into several limitations. This is super helpful in making the decision to upgrade to Logic, which I will be doing shortly! Thanks!
  • @TheBBist-xh7iq
    very helpful, nice to see some of the benefits explained....cheers.
  • @HK_Musician
    Those take folders it creates is awesome. That's the best part of Logic from what ive seen. Really good video. Showed me quickly what I wanted to know
  • @osagie2
    Thanks Nathan !!! Get better soon !!

    The important thing to remember is that GarageBand is cross platform between iPhone/iPad iOS and Mac OS. iOS doesn't support all the tricks that MAC OS does for DAW. GarageBand's beauty is it's simplicity and quickness of use. You can create projects from your iPhone/iPad in the field or desktop MAC ay home .. and import it into Logic Pro if you want to go all out on a production.. I think it's great having the two seperate DAW's so you can produce on mobile and fixed setups... Personally I use GarageBand iOS, Cubasis iOS, Cubase Pro, Logic Pro. Cubase has Chord Track which is brilliant especially for songwriters and arrangers, also Cubase has harmony generators for adding vocal harmonies.. Also Cubase Pro you can control pitch correction to a Midi Keyboard so you can play a melody on the keyboard and the vocals will be pitched to whatever you play... So each DAW has benefits.

    Thanks..very helpful in making the decision. Definitely leaning to LP
  • @allendean9807
    Started recording in the box in 2007. Began with GB, which got me initiated into digital tracking, mixing, and working with loops. I think if you are serious about writing, tracking and mixing your music, graduating from GB to Logic is the natural progression
  • @xy_77
    12:12 Everything is fine with your vocals. No need to create excuses. You have a beautiful voice.
  • @maandpa
    Been hoping you’d do this video. Thanks!! 🙏 -Em
  • @panplayer
    Fantastic vid! Thanks for the detailed explanation. Time to purchase Logic!
  • @erynatasha5000
    I've been debating on getting Logic for months now. During my songwriting sessions, I've definitely come across all of the Garageband flaws you've mentioned. This is the video I needed to confirm my Logic purchase!
